Digital Designing with Programmable Logic Devices

The purpose of this book is to use hands-on methodology to present programmable logic devices from a viewpoint which will prepare the reader for application within the digital design industry. The knowledge of, and ability to apply state machines to control situations is vital to the overall education of the digital designer. Booknews A core text for a one-semester, upper-division course in an electronics or computer engineering technology curriculum. The prerequisites are an introductory background in digital logic, microprocessors, assembly language, binary arithmetic, and Boolean algebra. Focuses on a hands-on approach in order to teach techniques on current technology that can be transferred to the inevitable new ones. Annotation c.
